Want to
learn the fundamentals of paddling in a whitewater kayak? Essentials of
Whitewater Kayak is designed to introduce paddlers to whitewater kayaks and
basic paddling strokes/maneuvers in modern whitewater boats. We’ll spend the
first part of the day learning about the boats, and practicing basics strokes
on flatwater. The second part of the day will introduce rolling and
performing eddy turns and peel outs as we run class 1-2 whitewater.
